Suzanne Childs Parker, 72, of Houston, Texas, was ushered into Glory on December 8, 2025. She was born on March 12, 1953, and was the beloved adopted daughter of Mortie Harrison Childs and Dixie Martin Clark Childs, both deceased. She was also preceded in death by her mother and stepfather, Mary Sue and Frank McCracken; her infant son, Baby Boy Parker; siblings Richard Reese and Jacquie West; and brothers-in-law Arnold Jay Frazier and Robert Lee Frazier.

Suzanne devoted her life to serving the Lord, her family, and her church. Her life was filled with ministry—Sunday School, Ladies Bible Studies, Vacation Bible School, church camp, and helping raise funds so children and youth could participate in these programs. Known affectionately as Mama P or Mamaw, she comforted others through prayer, encouragement, and the simple gift of sharing cobbler or chicken and dumplins with anyone who might need it.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, David Parker; her children Amy Morgan (Cody) and Matthew Parker (Shannon); and her grandchildren Ethan, Sydney, Liam, Noah, and Finley. She is also survived by her siblings Debi Fly (Richard) and Craig Behm (Jan); her sister Annette Owen (husband Kenneth, deceased) and her children Sherrie Erickson (Tommy), Jaime Hernandez (Phil), Julie Peebles, and Kenneth Owen Jr. (Tiffany); and her brother-in-law Billy Ray Parker (wife Jan, deceased) and Judy Thompson (husband Richard, deceased). She leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, church family, and dear friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at First Baptist Friendswood, 111 East Heritage Drive, Friendswood, TX 77546 with an onsite reception to follow.
